About Musee Picasso, Paris

The Musee Picasso is a symbolization of display spotted in the Hotel Sale in mourn de Thorigny, in the Marais region of Paris devoted to the work of the specialist Pablo Picasso. The hotel that houses the accumulation was manufactured between 1656 and 1659 for Pierre Aubert, seigneur de Fontenay, who was a duty rancher who came to be rich gathering the gabelle or salt assessment. The draftsman was Jean Boullier from Bourges, otherwise called Boullier de Bourges. The design was done by the siblings Gaspard and Balthazard Marsy and by Martin Desjardins. It is recognized to be one of the finest noteworthy houses in the Marais. The manor has updated hands a few times by bargain or legacy. The tenants have incorporated the Embassy of the Republic of Venice in 1671, then François de Neufville, duc de Villeroi. Later it was seized by the State throughout the French Revolution, while in 1815 it turned into a school, in which Balzac examined the progresses.

Loved this so much!! The staff was helpful and the entire place was beautifully laid out. Definitely recommend the €4 audio guide—it gives so much information about different time periods in the painter’s life. It has guides in English, French, German, and Chinese. This museum is great for any art lover.

Incredible gallery with a vast collection of work from the master. Most you will never see anywhere else or even in print. Inspiring, powerful and moving so see how prolific and creative he was for his entire life. Most accomplished artist the world has ever known

Great place to spend couple of hours in central Paris in Marais district. It's better to get tickets in advance but wait time was not bad for Sunday midday (25 min.). Nice cafe on the upper level and three floors of everything Picasso from his early years in late 1890s till his death in early 1970s.

Beautiful museum and building. I was there for the erotic paintings exhibition from 1932. I got the audio guide - it was certainly worth the 4€ because there was otherwise very little information available in English(and French really). Also the museum shop was great with a lot of prints on offer and many other gifts from scarfs to mugs to children's paint like Picasso books. (There was another store for the museum right outside the entrance but I didn't find any prints there.)

Pretty great place. Not very stroller friendly because of its frequent changing of elevation although they have elevators and lifts. You can see many of Picasso works
